Update: There have been several offers to buy JPG so it does not have to fold! Read more here - tags JPG Magazine Webzine Magazine Art PhotographyThis morning I wake up to an email from JPG Magazine, informing me that they are closing their doors as of January 5th, 2009 due to lack of funds and investors. The website and magazine is another in a long line of small enterprises that have been hit hard by the current economy in the United States. I for one will miss them and wish them good luck on any future endeavors. This is their list of things you may want to do before the site shuts down on Monday. - Download the PDFs of back issues, outtakes, and photo challenge selections. We'll always have the memories! www.jpgmag.com/downloads/archives.html - Make note of your favorite photographers. You may want to flip through your favorites list and jot down names and URLs of some of the people you'd like to stay in touch with. You may even want to cut and paste your contacts page into a personal record. - Catch up with your fellow members. Our roots are in this humble flickr forum and we recommend going back to find fellow members, discuss the situation, or participate in another great photo community. www.flickr.com/groups/jpgmag/ - Keep in touch. This has always been much more than just a job to each of us, and we'll miss you guys! We'll be checking the account jpgletters@gmail.com in our free time going forward. We can't promise to reply to every email (since we'll be busy tuning up our resumes) but we'd love to hear from you. - Stay posted. Although the magazine is ceasing publication, we'll be updating you on what's happening with your subscription early next week. picked by krash 11 months ago |
